Gist; purpose; point; purport. The main meaning or intention behind a statement, plan, or action.

A formal noun used to refer to the essential point or underlying purpose of something. Common in meetings, legal documents, and formal explanations. Often appears in phrases like 趣旨を説明する (to explain the purpose) and 趣旨に沿う (to be in line with the intent). More precise than 意味 — it focuses on intent and purpose rather than definition.
